    Hi all,
    is there someone who can tell me how can i wake up my home pc by using the one i have at work and
    vice versa? I often use Any Desk, but i can't get how to setting up the two machines in order to switch them on when i need it.
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, utilitzing WoL requires that the device support the feature. You may also need to ensure your networking equipment is setup to allow/support magic packets.
